In line with the IB’s emphasis on experiential learning, a trip to the Main Campus was organised to enable students observe and interact with other members of our School Community, in order to make meaningful connections and deepen their understanding of how schools are organised. On arrival, our young learners were joyfully reunited with their student teachers from Week 5. Our Secondary friends were all too glad to join and guide us on the tour, sharing with us their knowledge of the school environment. We visited the Security Post, Reception, Sports Complex, as well as the Offices of the General Manager and Head of Administration. At each of these stops, staff explained their roles and responsibilities to our curious learners. Students also interacted confidently, asking many questions about the use of various office spaces, and the functions of staff. The highlight of our visit, however, was Grandma, who warmly welcomed us to her ‘Head Quarters’ with a thousand hugs. It was definitely the icing on the cake! Vol.16, No.26 6 Tema International School 28 February 2020 Vol.16, No.26 7 Tema International School 28 February 2020 LOWER AND UPPER PRIMARY International-mindedness in TIS PYP International-mindedness is a view of the world, where people appreciate their connection with the global community and assume a sense of responsibility towards its members. It is an awareness of the interrelatedness of all nations and people, and a recognition of the complexity of these relationships. Internationally-minded people are cognisant of and value the diversity of people, cultures and societies of the world. They make an effort to learn more about others, and express empathy and solidarity towards them, in a bid to achieve mutual understanding and respect. International-mindedness, which is at the heart of international education, is central to the IB mission, and a foundation principle of its educational philosophy. In PYP, the learner profile attributes and approaches to learning (ATL) skills provide the bedrock of competencies and dispositions for the development of this global mindset. Internationally-minded learners are Inquirers, Knowledgeable, Thinkers, Communicators, Principled, Open-minded, Caring, Risk-Takers, Balanced and Reflective. The development of these attributes is embedded in the curriculum and guides students’ behaviour. To facilitate students’ exhibition of these attributes, we award learners fortnightly for their strides towards international mindedness at the TIS Primary School Campus. Below is the picture of last week’s award winners. Vol.16, No.26 8 Tema International School 28 February 2020 Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills help students develop competencies that have relevance across the curriculum and transcend the local context. These skills basically focus on helping students “learn how to learn”. ATL skills can be learned and taught, improved with practice and developed incrementally. These skills, when acquired, provide a solid foundation for the development of international-mindedness. For this reason, opportunities are created for students to employ their curiosity and research skills to inquire about the world, think and reflect critically on opportunities and challenges, work in groups to develop social and self- management skills, as well as communicate their views, while respecting those of others. The picture below shows students engaged in various activities, to develop these ATL skills. Vol.16, No.26 9 Tema International School 28 February 2020 Language is also a means of fostering international-mindedness in students. At the TIS Primary School Campus, we encourage learners to speak using their native tongue and to learn an additional language. The drive towards multilingualism is a means of positively influencing students’ self-awareness, perceptions, and abilities, as well as triggering actions that are necessary for affirming cultural identity and developing positive, interpersonal relationships. Below, students are recounting folktales and playing traditional games, as a means of learning Twi, a Ghanaian Language. An internationally-minded learner is aware of global issues. Global awareness creates opportunities for students to explore their role in and understanding of issues outside the classroom. To keep students abreast of current affairs, we have provided a learning space called, ‘The Global Area,’ where students can gain information about the world through print media, such as newspapers, magazines and journals. Learners are encouraged to stock this resource area with materials that will heighten their global awareness. Parents are also welcome to support us in this regard with relevant material that will foster international mindedness. Vol.16, No.26 10 Tema International School 28 February 2020 Print media is not the only avenue for accessing local and international news. Other digital platforms present great alternatives and last week’s trip to Citi TV was focused on exploring these. Onyx and Opal students gained first-hand information on technologies that help to disseminate information worldwide. They had a feel of both radio and television transmission, and were thrilled with the experience. The concept of international-mindedness is deeply entrenched in the IB PYP. At TIS, through the development of learner profile attributes, acquisition of ATL skills, multilingualism and global awareness, we are nurturing internationally-minded learners, who through tolerance and collaboration, are ready to take actions that foster a better and peaceful world. Vol.16, No.26 11 Tema International School 28 February 2020 GHANAIAN SIGN LANGUAGE (GSL) Means of Transportation In connection with Topaz Class’ inquiry into transport systems, they are learning how to sign the names of different transit systems in Ghanaian Sign Language.

Burnham American architect and city planner 2 About the Author Insert Photo Phillip L. Clay PhD, a professor of city planning at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, served as MIT’s chancellor from 2001 to 2011. As chancellor, he was involved in educational and res earch initiatives that MIT conducted with governments, corporations, and universities in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East to design sectoral or national strategies to harness the power of advanced research and education to advance national development goals. Professor Clay is also experienced in higher-education development. He is a trustee of the Kresge Foundation and a founding member and former vice chair of the MasterCard Foundation; both of these foundations have focused on higher education in Africa. He currently serves on the board of the Aga Khan University and on an advisory committee of the African Institute of Mathematical Sciences, and he was previously a member of the board of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This paper is an exercise in visioning and planning based on the author’s research and experience, in Africa and other parts of the world, in the kinds of transformation activities the author advocates here for Africa.

  • Sub-Saharan Africa: Tertiary Education1
    Last updated: May 14, 2020 Sub-Saharan Africa: Tertiary Education1 Tertiary Education in Sub-Saharan Africa With 48 countries2 and a population of over 1 billion, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is one of the largest regions in the world. The current gross tertiary education enrollment ratio is 9.4%, which is well below the global average of 38%.3 Of course, the rate varies greatly within the region. For example, in Mauritius gross tertiary enrollment is 40%,4 in Cabo Verde it is 23.6%, in Ghana and Togo it is 15%, in Lesotho it is 10%, and in Niger it is 4.4% (figure 1). Overall, the region spends 21% of government education expenditure on tertiary education compared to 27% on secondary education and 43% on primary education. Figure 1.

  • 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Reimagining Higher Education in Africa the Need for a Different Higher Education Model in Africa
    2018 ANNUAL REPORT Reimagining higher education in Africa The Need for a Different Higher Education Model in Africa Less than 10% of African youth attend university. By definition this group will lead Africa, and the manner in which we educate them today will make all the difference for the continent's future. Ashesi University Foundation is a US 501 (c)3 non-profit organization that supports Ashesi University, a private, independent, non-profit, 4-year university in Ghana. 1 Letter from the President Dear Friends, It is a privilege for me to share what we accomplished together in 2018. The Ashesi community marked several major milestones: we became the youngest university in Ghana's history to receive a presidential charter, which gave us greater independence and flexibility as a degree-granting institution [p.3]; our student body surpassed 1,000 members [p.4]; and we completed five new campus buildings, which offer impactful new spaces for research, collaboration, and engagement [p.5]. Today, there is nothing more urgent than the work we're doing to reimagine higher education in Africa. As I reflect on Ashesi's 17-year journey, I’ve learned that pioneering institutions like Ashesi play a key role in raising the bar in higher education. Consider, as an analogy, a race car team. Two forces affect a car's speed: drag and draft. Drag is air resistance that pushes against a car's forward motion. A car moving ahead in a race works harder to maintain its speed. In contrast, drafting occurs when cars collaborate and race as a pack, leveraging their collective weight to beat drag and collectively race faster.
